Thanks!

We are well on our way with the new version now. Unfortunately, there will be many additional issues to consider before we will be able to release it, even if it is was or less finished. These issues include sufficient beta testing, new documentation, porting our website to support the new version, forums etc.

If we aren't able to release public within the end of the year, I will at least be able to provide a beta demo preview to those who are interested. Is that a fair consolation?

I know I have mentioned that we will release the new version before the end of the year, something I should perhaps be more careful with in the future. In the end of the day, we are from our perspective making a quality product, and I simply can't release it any faster than it is created.

We are not forcing anyone to wait, but we also respect customers urge to see a new product. Let's see what we got later in December!

In all my years of buying software I've never seen any product with a slower development cycle. Obviously it's a VERY small team (1? 2?). Sell it. Take the money and run.

Do you have a lot of experience in this specific niche market? We present our product on our web page as it is, and we do not force anyone to buy it. If this software was so 'lagging behind' as you are insinuating it is, then there would be no room for it in the market any longer, and I would respect that.

This is not like any other traditional software where often the soul focus is on the function of the software. I can't just outsource the work to any big- or medium sized Indian development crew(If I could, believe me, I would).

Since you are suggesting to sell, perhaps you can find a buyer for me? Not to underestimate you, but I think that will not be too easy.

You are right that we are not many developers involved with this, and a lot of time goes to providing customer support. However, we are working towards an entirely new gallery combo, which we hope will be the best of it's kind. If it was so easy, then why are we not out competed already?

Please have patience -
